Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring, allowing the spring preload to
be adjusted to suit the rider's prefer-
ence.
It is recommended to have a Yamaha
dealer adjust the spring preload.
Should you choose to make the adjust-
ment, use the special wrench included
in the additional tool kit, which was
handed out separately at the purchase
of the vehicle.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring in direction (b).
